TRY IT: Place two fingers in the hollow of your
neck between the windpipe and the large muscle of the neck. Press lightly until you feel a pulse.
We are now going to take our pulse for 15 seconds. When I say “go”, begin to count the number of pulses you feel until I say “stop”.
Now, multiply this number by 4. This will give you your beats per minute
How many did you come up with?
THINK ABOUT IT: A normal human adult resting pulse
has between 60-100 beats per minute Is yours in this range? How do you think the heart rates of
livestock species compare to humans? When would you think that an animal
would have an elevated heart rate? Why is this important to us?
CIRCULATORY SYSTEMS OF LIVESTOCK SPECIESBy: Ms. Ryan
OBJECTIVES: Define the circulatory system. Discuss how the circulatory system
works. Define the components of the
circulatory system. Analyze the components of the
circulatory systems and their functions.
Describe blood analysis and why it is important.
SO WHAT IS THE CIRCULATORY SYSTEM ANYWAY?Definition: the bodily system
consisting of the heart, blood vessels, and blood that circulates throughout the body, delivers nutrients and other essential materials to cells, and removes waste products.
Consists of:Heart VeinsBlood vessels
CIRCULATORY SYSTEMOften helps stabilize body
temperature and pHCan you think of an example of this
in humans?Going into shock if your blood
pressure is at an extremely low levelOthers?
HOW IT WORKSVertebrates have a closed circulatory
system, which generally confines the blood within its walls
Blood flows through two circuits through a partitioned heart that works as two side by side pumps
This double circuit supports the high levels of activity that is characteristic of most vertebrates
THE HEARTDefinition: a four-chambered,
hollow muscle used to pump blood.Divide into four compartments:
Ventricles: pump blood into arteriesAtrium: the chamber of the heart
that receives blood
Left Ventricle Left AtriumRight Ventricle Right Atrium
THE HEARTRight side of the Heart:
pumps deoxygenated blood (blood low in Oxygen) to the lungs
Left side of the Heart:pumps oxygenated blood (blood
rich in Oxygen) all over the body
CROSS SECTION OF A HORSE’S HEART
BLOOD VESSELS Three kinds: arteries, capillaries, veins Arteries: carry blood away from the heart
Divide into arterioles, which are small arteries that are controlled by the nervous system to regulate blood pressure
Capillaries: microscopic blood vessels with a wall formed of one layer of simple squamous cellsBeds of capillaries are very prevalent in the bodyWhen an animal eats, capillary beds of the digestive
system openSo narrow that red blood cells must pass through in
single file
BLOOD VESSELS Venules: vessels that
take blood from capillaries and join to form a vein
Veins: transport blood toward the heartWalls are much thinner
than arteriesNo blood pressureOne-way valves open in
the direction of the heart and close to prevent back flow
BLOODBlood: the liquid in the
circulatory system of an animal organism
Organisms cannot live without it
All animals have it, but its nature varies from one species to another
Amount varies with the species and size of animal
BLOOD An average adult human weighing 160
pounds has about 5 quarts of blood Animals in high altitudes have more
blood than those at lower altitudes because air at higher altitudes has less oxygen
What do you think will happen if animals from higher altitudes are moved to lower altitudes?
BLOOD CONSISTS OF: Plasma: the liquid
substance in which various solid materials are suspended and moved about90% water10% = dissolved
substances including hormones, wastes, minerals, vitamins, and proteins
BLOOD CONSISTS OF:Red blood cells: responsible for
carrying oxygen from the lungs throughout the circulatory sysemOxygen carried by hemoglobin: a
protein part of the bloodDo not repair themselvesNew cells are made in bone marrowDead cells are removed by the spleen
and liverOne animal may have a trillion blood
cells!
BLOOD CONSISTS OF:White blood cells: responsible for
fighting disease and removing harmful substances from the bodyFour different kinds found in bloodSome cells surround and digest
infectious bacteriaProduce antibodies: a kind of protein
that destroys bacteria, viruses, and other invasive substances
WBC counts go up if there is an infection
BLOOD CONSISTS OF:Platelets: the structures in blood that
are responsible for clottingDisk-like shapeCreates scabsWithout them, an animal might bleed to
death from a wound
THE ACTUAL PROCESS: Heart pumps blood into the body
through arteries and capillaries Blood returns in the veins Circulation includes moving blood:
through the lungs by receiving oxygen and giving off carbon dioxide
by the liver and spleen for cleaningthroughout the entire body to support
life processes
BLOOD’S ROLE AS A TRANSPORT Carries oxygen to all areas of the body and
acquires carbon dioxide from the respiration process in the cells
Protects against disease (white blood cells) Transport hormones Transport nutrients and wastes Heat regulation
Skin uses some of the liquid in blood as sweat
MAINTAINING BLOOD SUPPLYRegulation
Amount of blood and proportions of materials in blood is regularly being adjusted to meet demands of the body
Replacing worn cellsBlood cells and platelets produced in
bone marrowMarrow: the soft substance in the
middle of bones, can be red or yellow
MAINTAINING BLOOD SUPPLY Controlling bleeding
Coagulation: a complex process initiated by injured tissues giving off signals indicating bleeding is occuring
Clotting factors result in formation of fibrin: creates a blockage that stops the loss of blood from the wound
Blood also has substances that dissolve clots where they are not needed (example: arteries)
MAINTAINING BLOOD SUPPLY Organisms that lose blood may be
given blood taken from another animal with the same blood type, which is called a blood transfusionMore common in humans and
domesticated animalsCan transmit diseaseShould only be done by trained
individuals
BLOOD ANALYSISDefinition: the process of testing
blood to determine its characteristicsSamples collected and testedPrimarily used in determining an
animal’s healthAlso used to determine nutritional
adequacyAnemia: the condition caused by
inadequate Iron
BLOOD ANALYSISDetermine the presence of
pathogens, which are microorganisms that cause disease
Blood poisoning: a condition in the blood caused by the presence of bacteria or fungi that cause disease
